I broke this to day, i read it this morning, and been on it every single moment i could and finally i broke it :D
If i add the time i put in to this i would say about 1.5 to 2 hours :D
I did NOT cheat, i did NOT search for the answer until i solved it, and that was to get the confirmation that i DID solve it.
Can you do this test with out cheating, and be HONEST with the answers ?
Try and take the time taken how long it took you to sove it :D
Come on people, it's not all that hard :D
IchBin, prove your self :coolsmiley:
lol, I don't have 2 hours to waste. I'll work on it on and off as I get the time.
I been trying to cheat and still don't get it. :'(
LOL Ken :D
I Dont get it either :-s
Hijacking of my threads will be removed ! :knuppel2:
lol I didn't mean to hijack I was just saying I heard a very different version of this lol...
Sorry G6 :D
and it took me about 2 hours :)
Call me lazy. I hit up Wikipedia. That entirely above my payscale to try to figure stuff out like that!! :o
After chatting with a friend at work about this, this isn't the original text of the riddle. It used to be "who owns the fish?" And not who drinks water or owns a horse.
From where i got this it IS 1. Who drinks water? and.. 2 Who owns the zebra?

IchBin, I agree with you. Anyway, I did try to solve it ..... I gave myself half an hour..... still no solution. I give up!!
The only thing I came up with is that I thought the Norweigan drank water. Didn't go any further than that. Where did you get this G6?
On a Swedish geek site where Swedish MIT students can post riddles, chemistry forms and a lot of other questions or answers. This riddle posted here is one of the answers to a question the graduates had to solve to graduate their class last semester.
I guess it was to hard for you guys to figure out, but then again, a female brain have proven to be working in more ways at the same time where guys brains dont :2funny:
And the Norweigan is not the one who drinks water ;)

I will post the answers to morrow if noone solved it by then.
Perhaps put some glow to this by saying that the winner with the correct answer will get a boob image >:D
lmao, well my image of you would be shattered. No boobies for me. So I decided to cheat and went and looked it up. >:D
Here's the answer, and apparently there must be multiple answers if you think the Norwegian isn't the water drinker.
